An editorial June 9 in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer wisely warned of the White House's intentionally distorting information to justify war.

Malcolm D. McPhee of Sequim, Washington in his Letter to the Editors wrote:

"This is not a minor indiscretion on the part of the president.  It is an international war crime to fabricate intelligence to start a war not otherwise justifiable in international law.  We have seen the continuing and unnecessary sacrifices of our military in Iraq.  What this president has done will have long-term adverse effects on generations of Americans to come."

Future generations have been saddled with a staggering debt of almost $10 trillion to pay off.
